DEXCAM3 with Open Dental
Good day all,
Our practice is in the process of migrating from Dentrix to Open Dental. During out testing phase, we have discovered that our DexCam3 intraoral device that works within Dentrix was not purchased with the DEXIS software. It uses the Dentrix Image Easy Intraoral software packaged within Dentrix.
We contacted Dexis and were told that we would have to purchase Dexis' Imaging software, at the cost of $6,000, in order to interface it properly with Open Dental.
We are wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get a DexCam3 intraoral device to work with Open Dental. Is there a cheaper software out there we could purchase that would allow us to use that device?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hell.. wait.. I have a dexcam3.. I will try this! We shall try the bda AND the wdm drivers! And MAYBE the MD-960U twain could be swapped, with a trick.

Re: DEXCAM3 with Open Dental
Alright.. tonight I am working on a DexCam3 twain solution for Open Dental and... maybe multipage.. Don't know.
And *maybe* EvaSoft and capture buttons for EM2860 cameras.

Re: DEXCAM3 with Open Dental
I can use Twain and get an image, but no capture button support.
Using the eZ1 Driver if you uncomment a line in the .inf file.
No capture button working at the moment though. May be on a register I cannot talk to. Unsure. Either way.. *capture button* will *never* work with Twain and Dexcam3, it seems. Not with the Empia Twain Library I have. Button timing seems unsupported by the twain driver, or on a different registry.
Best off using DirectShow. Or call Dexis and see if they make a twain driver for the DexCam3, I bet they do not.
Dexis switched to BDA drivers a long time ago, and those do not even offer twain through Empia.

Re: DEXCAM3 with Open Dental
We also need the ability to do multipage twain, while showing the UI window for the Scanner.
That should be easy to recompile and test with. I guess this will be my new project.

Re: DEXCAM3 with Open Dental
I was rereading this and I know the answer.
The DexCam3 now uses a BDA Driver from Empia (no twain) so you can use the older Dexis 8 WDM Driver that DID offer twain.
That would work with Open Dental, though you would still need to decide to use single page scanning or multi-page scanning.

Re: DEXCAM3 with Open Dental
Done!
BDA with VideoDS and my capture button proggie.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5225
Alternative:
WDM with Empia Twain
This has twain, but needs to be tested with the capture button. (Comes from an older GX-Picture and some love)

If it does I will update this post.
